It's been a good experience and I enjoy the classes and the teachers. I enjoy that you can make up your work and get the opportunities to challenge yourself in order to see you can meet your goal. Also how easily is to talk if you need help

I have two children attend RHS and was so disappointed in the staff and how they handle issues, whether bahavior or grades. I felt there was only 1 teacher who truly cared about my student and was a mentor. There was never any communication from the teachers or working together with parents if issue...

Very few caring teachers who actually teach. Poor leadership from the staff. I wish I hadn't waited until 11th grade to pull her out.
